Two days later. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Han Xuan learned the news from his father, probably because he was too sad and Barton was sick.
It was just a fever, and after the examination, the doctor said that he was still in good health and would have no problem living for another ten years, which was good news.
Pudding is gone, and life goes on.
Recently, Han Xuan plans to make a custom statue for Pudding to commemorate its hard work in the Snow Mountain Ranch for more than ten years, and has asked someone to ask Mr. Zhang Chongren, a master of modern sculpture, to help.
When it comes to those glorious Chinese art masters, most people will soon think of the names of Wu Changshuo, Zhang Daqian, Xu Beihong, Qi Baishi and others.
However, there is another master artist with international influence, who is very unfamiliar in China, he is the little-known sculpture master Zhang Chongren in China and unknown in Europe.
In the Musée National des Arts de France, there are sculptures of the hands of three masters.
One is Rodin from France, the other is Picasso from Spain, and the other is Zhang Chongren.
At the top of the Centennial Palace in Brussels, Belgium, there are four human sculptures, one of which is also by Zhang Chongren.
The other party is eighty-eight years old this year, the year before last just created a sculpture for the chief designer Deng, after hearing about the deeds of the pudding, Master Zhang Chongren was very touched, ready to come to the United States in person, to understand the details, Han Xuan plans to arrange his own private jet, to pick him up in France......
After returning to the snowy mountain pasture, the temperature has a slight warming trend, hovering around zero degrees Celsius.
The snow had long since stopped, and under the sun's rays, it quietly melted a little.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and Joanna and Dani have been busy all day, and finally cleaned all the villa, so tired that they couldn't get up this morning.
Speaking of these two people, now Han Xuan didn't know what the relationship between them was, so he asked Joanna, but she was thin-skinned and didn't say much, and Dani ignored him directly.
So Han Xuan could only guess that it might be more than friends and less than lovers.
Shen Yutong, the life secretary, clumsily helped boil a pot of seafood porridge, with fried eggs and bread, and made do with breakfast.
She had never seen such a big abalone, she put two at once, and Han Xuan always felt that she was going to have a nosebleed, this thing was too replenishing......
The snow on the road had been cleared, and Han Xuan drove to the vegetable plantation.
A bulky red bulletproof Humvee, not very well insulated, slightly noisy.
The big rabbit Bonnie in the co-pilot's seat was full of impatience, he was not happy with the smell of milk-flavored shower gel, and lowered his head to sniff on himself with his nose, feeling that he still liked the rabbit smell before.
Speaking of this big rabbit, its figure is indeed very strange, and now this guy has weighed more than twenty-nine kilograms, and is about to move towards the thirty-kilogram mark.
Lying on the ground and stretching out its front and back legs, its body length can reach 130 centimeters, and when the Guinness staff came to measure it last month, they could hardly believe that it was really a rabbit.
Most of the ordinary rabbits weigh only 1.5 to 3 kilograms, and Bonnie is seriously ten times overweight!
Director Susan received the news of Han Xuan's return to Montana, and also led the crew to come last night, the mysterious and wonderful Snow Mountain Ranch is a very bright spot in her opinion.
Han Xuan turned his head to see a small forest covered with snow on the ground, and suddenly remembered that he had planted a lot of ginseng there last year.
Picking up the walkie-talkie and saying a few words, the convoy slowed down and stopped on the side of the road......
After getting out of the car, Director Susan took out the video recorder, looked at the empty snowfields around her, and asked Han Xuan, "Is there anything that can be filmed here?"
"No, I had something like this last year, which is Chinese ginseng, which is similar to American ginseng.
In our traditional Chinese concept, ginseng is a very valuable medicinal material, and I went to see how they grew. ”
Han Xuan replied, opening the rear door and letting Little Barry and White Tiger Obama get out of the car.
When he looked at Bonnie, the big rabbit turned his head slowly, not looking at him.
It likes the warmth of the car, and it's not silly to go to the snow.
But this guy likes to defecate in the open, Han Xuan didn't dare to let him stay alone in the car, in case the car was disturbed, the smell would not be dispersed for a week or two, comparable to the saliva of alpacas.
Grab Bonnie and struggle to carry him out of the car.
I used to think that Fat Ding was already fat, but now it seems that it is far from Bunny......
I think it's interesting to think of ginseng.
Susan told the rest of the crew to turn on the camera and want to follow along, but ABC TV had given enough money for the production this time, and she was not afraid of wasting film.
Stepping on the snow, we walked towards the grove.
There are many animal footprints on the ground, and Han Xuan can recognize them all, and often turns his head to introduce to the camera which is a rabbit, which is a lemming, and which is a white-tailed deer.
Thinking back to the scene of planting the seeds, and finding familiar trees, he bent down to dust off the snow under his feet and asked others to help find them.
Ginseng doesn't grow legs and runs, it grows wherever it is planted.
I soon found a yellowish plant that looked like ginseng, and the stems and leaves on the ground were buried in the snow, and it was well preserved.
Ginseng is a perennial plant, but it is not an evergreen plant, it has a dormant period.
After the one-year growth cycle is completed, the stems on the ground are lodging, and the rhizomes enter the dormant period, and they sprout and grow again in the spring of the next year.
"In fact, the chemical composition of Korean ginseng and Western ginseng is basically the same, and at present, the American Medical Federation and the Canadian Medical Federation do not recognize the medical value of American ginseng.
However, ginseng has the color of myths and legends in China, because it can grow continuously for thousands of years, and ancient people believed that it could become a spirit and run on its own with long legs.
It is also believed that it has a miraculous effect on the treatment of diseases, and can even increase the life expectancy of people, in historical records, Qin Shi Huang once sent people to find a thousand-year-old ginseng that turned into a spirit, hoping to eat it to become immortal.
I don't know if ginseng has an effect, but they are the epitome of Chinese culture, just like the Tai Sui I dug up before, it is also a legendary miracle medicine......"
Han Xuan tried his best to explain in a language that the audience could understand, and asked Gabriel to come with a dagger, digging as he spoke.
This thing wants to keep the stewed chicken soup for himself, and he doesn't pay attention to breaking the roots and the like, and the method of digging ginseng is very rough, poking down with a dagger, and then priing up the soil with force.
groping in the dirt with his frozen red palm, he suddenly grabbed something, and after pulling it out, Han Xuan's expression on his face was suddenly stunned, thinking to himself how this yellowish rhizome with dirt on the surface was like a radish.
He peeled off the dirt with his hands, and the stem was nearly fifteen centimeters round, with two legs like a fork in the lower part, and full of roots.
It's not like a turnip!
Awkwardly said to the camera: "Maybe I got the wrong seed, I remember ginseng growing very slowly......" (To be continued.) )
